The recent actions of Congress are appalling

December 14, 2012

I am appalled at what is not going on in Washington, D.C., in the U.S. Congress. Our elected members, all 500 plus, in the Senate and House of Representatives, remind me of nursery school students.

They have no idea of how to work together - it is all a matter of power and control. Party control is the priority. How the Majority leader of the senate could not produce a budget in three plus years is not acceptable. Of course, the members of the Senate, elected by "We The People," did nothing.

The only voice of the "People" happens in November when members of Congress are elected. Why is there no "report card" for our elected officials? The average salary for our representatives is $170,000 plus.

Their retirement package is great.

It is sad that the greatest country in the world has such poor representatives. It is time that "partisanship" be put aside and our members of Congress work together to get America back to what it once was.
